Summary

Cedargrove Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 569 students in Covina, California, as part of the Charter Oak Unified School District, performing near the middle of all California schools.

The school shows a clear strength in science, where its student proficiency notably exceeds both district and state averages and outperforms nearby schools like Glen Oak Elementary and Badillo Elementary. Furthermore, Cedargrove has made impressive progress in improving student attendance, significantly reducing its chronic absenteeism rate over recent years to a level better than the district average and lower than several peers, including Willow Elementary. Within its own district, its overall academic performance ranks below schools like Washington Elementary but above others.

There are areas for attention, including significant performance differences between various student groups and a notable decline in outcomes for English Learners and students in special education over the past few years. Academic results also vary considerably by grade level, with sixth-grade math being a particular concern. While the school's statewide ranking has gradually declined from pre-pandemic levels, it achieves these results with lower per-student spending than some comparable schools in the area, such as Cypress Elementary.
